Idiyappam or string hoppers are popular South Indian breakfast dish made of very few ingredients like rice flour and water. In Kerala, these are usually served with vegetable stew. In some parts of Kerala, these are called nool puttu, while in Tamil Nadu, sevai is a popular breakfast dish. I’ll give you plenty of tips and tricks to make your family go ‘wow’.Ok, let’s do this. Start with the number one tip.1. Use good quality rice flourIf you really want to make idiyappams that taste great, you need to buy good quality rice flour. Classic idiyappam recipes call for raw rice flour. And that’s exactly why you must visit your local Indian grocery store. Raw rice flour is totally different from the regular rice flour you buy from other grocery stores.2. Roast the flourRoasted rice flour is readily available from Indian chops. Look for “idiyappam podi, appam podi” etc. If you can’t find roasted rice flour for your idiyappam recipe, buy regular rice flour and roast it at home. All you need to do is lightly fry it over low flame. Don’t forget to stir continuously.3. Use boiling waterIt is important to allow the water to come to a boil before adding it to rice flour. Warm water is not enough if you want soft and delicious idiyappam.4. Don’t let dough cool completelyWell, this is obviously a very important tip. While you’re pressing the idiyappam, the dough needs to be slightly warm. That way, idiyappam remains soft and holds it's shape really well.

#deepfried - This can be a perfect party appetizer. Made from some leftover Idiyappam (string hoppers) and ground urad dal. My first try and they came out absolutely yummy. So go ahead and give it a try and surprise your loved ones. Serve along with tomato sauce, green chutney, mayo or hummus. They can also be relished as a side dish with dal chawal, curd rice or sambar rice.

Hello my beautiful people, how are you? Are you ready for a super quick and delicious recipe? 😋

#GoldenApron23Cooking the string beans in boiling water with baking soda, and cooling them in ice water, will help the string beans to have a bright green color.

Cooking something for dinner ❣️

recipe number 9 is the same but I'm keeping it for tomorrow and I didn't put tomato in it.

Cooking flat Italian string beans in tomato sauce alone is a great side to any meat dish. This can easily turn into an entree by combining the string beans and sauce with a short pasta such as penne.

started the hcg diet. thought of sharing to help hcgiers out there :)

As most if not all my vegetarian recipes, this is once again developed for Britta. We had this salad in a trip advisor recommended food stop in Pakse, in Laos PDR. this was our last stop in our north to south Laos Christmas holiday. Most main courses in Laos are served with sticky rice and this was no exception. It originally is a non vegetarian salad as with most Asian salads because of the addition of fish sauce. Of course, salt can never replace the complex saltiness of fish sauce, but using salt to draw out flavors from the vegetables themselves balances out the sharpness of the salt, and thus rounds out the dish. This needs a mortar and pestle to prepare. A wooden one or a stone one would be best. The mortar and pestle in combination with abrasive ingredients like salt and sugar makes the 'dressing' for the salad. Again this is best served with flat bread and topped with smoked tofu.

Nothing is more satisfying than a bowl of roasted string beans to serve over rice.

A light and yummy appetizer. Crispy and chewy on the outside, warm and savory in the inside. Really quick and easy to make. Imagine soft and cheesy mochi balls! Will surely be a hit and a crowd favorite in parties!
